But there are victims, even if they're not direct. And child porn is unique in that it's victims are victimized over and over.

It's a very short leap between 1 and the remainder. I would bet that most if not all start at 1. These types should be weeded out before they do real harm.

I hope I'm reading the parent wrong or missing something as I often do. People who molest children, or partake in child porn, are the scum of the earth. I can't believe what I'm reading here. There are intelligent people who believe it shouldn't be a crime, or a big deal, to possess child porn, or molest children and record it?

I know it's not popular to have morals or take a stand these days, but here it goes. People who get off on naked children are beneath the scum of the earth. There should be little leniency for these "people." The "humans" who use children for their own sexual pleasure are not normal and should be removed from the population post haste.

And anyone who disagrees is naive, inexperienced in life, or abnormal themselves and should seek professional help.

I agree, except much spam is now coming from hijacked accounts. So domain keys, SPF, and signed DNS would not help much as the spam is coming from legitimate email accounts.

On Ubuntu 9.10, if wine is installed, there will be a file in the same location, /etc/sysctl.d/ named wine.sysctl.conf that sets vm.mmap_min_addr = 0. This should be commented, unless 16 bit programs are used with wine.

I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on one laptop and two desktops. The laptop is an older IBM i386. The desktops are a Lenovo 64 bit Intel and a white box AMD Phenom 64 bit. The Lenovo interacts with the Active Directory services here at work.

I almost always have issues upgrading when logged in as an AD user. This was no exception. I had to logout and $ sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a as a local user. I rebooted and had to run $sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and $ sudo apt-get -f install a couple of times.

My home laptop and desktop went better. I think I had to dpkg on my home machine as well.

The desktops run great and have nothing strange happening. My laptop won't login to the wireless automatically. I have to restart knetworkmanager to get it to prompt to open kwalletmanager. Also, the sound works, but it displays a message about pulse (I think) not being available and it falls back to something else. It also prompts me to remove the device permanently, which I am going to try when I get a chance. I haven't reported, or done much debugging, because these aren't show stoppers, but I will in the next couple of days and I hope everyone reports bugs that are encountered.

I have been using kubuntu since the days of 3.5. I love KDE 4. In my opinion, it will be the desktop of the future. In fact, after using Windows 7 all this week, I'm pretty sure it's what Microsoft was aiming for. I use Kubuntu 40 hours a day in a Microsoft environment, joined to the domain, and I have yet to run into a show stopper, or a bug that wasn't easily fixed. KDE 4 has made tremendous strides and has laid the framework to do great things in the future, while being stable and feature-full enough to be my daily driver. And it is as aesthetically pleasing productivity enhancing as desktop environments get.

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Thanks, Ubuntu!
